Happy Birthday, Stephen Hawking!
World-renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking celebrates his 73rd birthday on January 8th. He has become a very prominent and important figure in the scientific community for his work with black holes which combined quantum physics with Einsteins theory of relativity. It is incredible how much work Hawking has been able to accomplish when he has had ALS (a degenerative motor neuron disease that attacks the neurons that control muscle movement) for a large part of his life and hasn't been able to move in years. He didn't let the disease stop him and he continued to make strides in his chosen field and become one of the most recognized scientists in the world.
